Subject: [PATCH 2/6] NOMMU: Provide per-task stack usage through /proc for
	NOMMU

Make it possible to get the per-task stack usage through /proc on a NOMMU
system.  The MMU-mode routine can't be used because walk_page_range() doesn't
work on NOMMU.

It can be tested to show the stack usages of non-kernel-thread processes:

	# grep "Stack usage:" /proc/*/status | grep -v "0 kB"
	/proc/1/status:Stack usage:     2 kB
	/proc/57/status:Stack usage:    3 kB
	/proc/58/status:Stack usage:    1 kB
	/proc/59/status:Stack usage:    3 kB
	/proc/60/status:Stack usage:    5 kB
	/proc/self/status:Stack usage:  1 kB

I've only tested it with ELF-FDPIC, though it should work with FLAT too.
